Note what? I'm confused as to what you're saying here, because you say to note it and then say it's bad to note it because it sounds like closed doors. >> But of course we should review >> the product plan over time to both see if it is working out and >> achieving the goals we have set for it and to see if we should adjust >> the overall target/goal for the product. >> >> So hopefully for Fedora marketing having something a bit more targeted >> should hopefully make their job easier as there is a clearer story that >> can be told to potential users.

It's the document the WG uses to focus their development and requirements. It's, at least as far as I know, completely separate from how things are marketed to end users. If we need a separate PMD (product marketing document), then we can work with Fedora Marketing to do that. josh -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
